Off-Campus Transportation

MetroLink and U-Pass

The nearest MetroLink train station is the Grand Station, located between Saint Louis
University's north campus and the SLU Medical Center on Grand Boulevard. Find your
best route to and from SLU and plan your trip by visiting Metro's online Trip Finder or by downloading the Metro on the Go app.

U-Pass

All students living in University housing are automatically enrolled in the SLU U-Pass
program, which can be used to ride MetroBus and MetroLink, at no charge. You will
need to have both your U-Pass card and your SLU ID any time the pass is used. If you
are unable to present both your U-Pass and your SLU ID to Metro personnel or fare
inspectors, you may be issued a citation and be required to pay a court-imposed fine.

The U-Pass program provides greater access for students to participate in community
service and to take advantage of St. Louis' cultural and entertainment venues. Metro
also offers ADA-accessible trains, buses and services for those who have disabilities
or who are mobility challenged, and can transport bicycles, which can further broaden
your opportunities to get involved in St. Louis.

For questions regarding the Metro U-Pass program, email the Student Government Association
at sga@slu.edu. For problems with your U-Pass, call 314-977-2957 or email parking@slu.edu. For questions about how to use your card, call Gateway Card Center at 314-982-1500.

Pre-tax Metro passes are also available to full-time faculty and staff through payroll
